Have a good one!

[dogluva]

Is this the new "thank you" or "Have a nice day"? I live in New England and everytime I go out to a store, restaurant, deli line, etc. I get this line after I check out or pay from the employee. I don't really mind it but sometimes want to ask "A good what?" just for clarification. I haven't heard a thank you im many months. Am I the only one?

I live in New England and travel throughout and have not really heard that too often. Mostly I get a thank you. Maybe it's more regional then a New England thing. Are you noticing it outside the Boston area also?

I live in Western Mass and haven't really noticed 'Have a good one'.
I do HATE 'all set' though.
When I 1st moved here in 2001 I heard it a lot and didn't really know what it meant. One day I was standing near a cash register in a store, ready to check out and an employee came up and asked, "Are you all set?" I replied with "Yes". She walked off. I thought she meant 'Are you ready to check out'
So from now on when I'm asked "are you all set?" I answer with "I'm ready to check out/order if that's what you mean"
Sorry I changed the subject.

This cracks me up! I've lived in the Boston area for a long time so I'm used to it, but my parents moved here recently from Conn. and it is my father's biggest pet peeve. Here on the South Shore, it is as common as hello.

This seems very common to me. Sometimes they say "you have a good one".
I say "Thanks for noticing"

There is one guy who used to work at the Quick Check who says this ALL THE TIME! (I'm in NJ, btw.) He's the only one I ever heard it from so maybe he was from somewhere else. Anyway, he says it so much that we've actually named him, "have-a-good-one." Like, "Hey, I saw have-a-good-one on the way to work today." Or, "OMG, have-a-good-one works at CVS now!"

I dont mind when someone says "have a good one" at all.

The strange one for me is to hear "have a good night" and it's 10:30 in the morning or some other time before 5pm. Weird.

"Be Well!" I think is the most annoying new thing used. Reminds me of the movie Demolition Man.

 

[hulagirl87]

oooh! I hate that. almost as much as I hate "thanks much!" blah!

"Be well, John Spartan" Sometimes I say this to DH when he leaves the house in the morning for work

I never realized how many pet peeves I had until i joined the Dis. And this is one of them!

"Have a good one" doesn't get to me, but I don't hear it that often. I guess it's ok, though, since I know they mean have a good day. (I think.)

I haven't heard "have a good one" in years! I heard it a lot 20 years or so ago.

I live North of Boston and it is all I hear. I also travel to NH to ski and it is the saying there too! I am not mad since the kids saying it are usually sincere, friendly, and really want me to "have a good one!". What it is, I don't know but it will surely be a good one!

As a matter of fact, I just heard it this past Thursday as I was leaving our office on the CT shoreline. I've heard it plenty of times before, but it's been a while; hearing it Thursday made me pause a second before I replied. It doesn't bother me, though, as a casual "have a good day/night/week-end" between co-workers.

Sooo....judging by another post, the ultimate would be:


"Hey, have a good one, toots"

 

[tiggersbombed2]

Really? It means have a good day. Am I missing something? or am I just used to it?

 

[mrspaha]

I hear it a lot too in the Midwest. I wonder if some people started using it around holidays to avoid being politically incorrect. For example, instead of saying have a nice Christmas or Easter, trying to make it more generic saying to have a good one.

 

[HeatherC]

I think it is "Wicked Awesome" and hope you all "have a good one"!

 

[XYSRUS]

Leave it to the Dis to complain about a greeting where someone is just trying to be nice! lol I don't get it.

 

[LuvCuteBoys]

Doesn't seem strange to me... I guess it's something I'm used to hearing. I've worked in retail and banking my whole life and I guess you just get used to hearing other variations of the repetitive "thank you and have a nice day" routine. It gets monotonous very quickly, so you find a way to switch it up.

The strange one for me is to hear "have a good night" and it's 10:30 in the morning or some other time before 5pm. Weird.

I'd lay odds that the person saying this generally works the night shift and is just used to saying "have a good night". Been there, done that.

I never realized how many pet peeves I had until i joined the Dis.

LOL! I didn't realize how many things bugged people until I joined the Dis.
